title: [Infant mortality and mortality in older children in the Czech and Moravian Regions in 1988].
abstract: The authors compare the present infant mortality in Czech and Moravian regions with the mortality in comparable areas after the First World War. Attention is drawn to the possibility of a wider, more objective evaluation of reproductive losses by an indicator where in the numerator are infant deaths, stillborn infants and aborted foetuses with a body weight of more than 500 g and in the denominator live born infant. The results of evaluations in regions according to these larger reproductive losses differ considerably from the evaluation according to infant mortality and the order of regions is also different. Finally, bases on the reports of regional specialists, the authors demonstrate interregional differences in the specific neonatal mortality by birth weight and differences in the post-perinatal mortality from some groups of diseases.
